Simple Card set using an MCS Kit

Have you dropped by My Creative Scrapbook to check out their scrapbook kits?  I really enjoy working with them, Pam does an amazing job at putting together fabulous papers and embellishments....

Every now and then I realise I am out of cards.  I like having a decent stash to pick from when we have a birthday or special event...or even a just because card.....and I was out.  so I selected this gorgeous teal floral patterned paper and some of the stickers in the pack.  I coloured some of the flowers I previously pulled apart with Shimmerz Paint, and they went nicely on a couple!

Project 5

Cards

And a few closer....

They are super simple.

I need to keep making a few cards at the end of every kit production, so I build myself a little stash again!  This worked great!

Project Life-embarrassing confession.

I am so far behind Project Life it is not funny. (Sigh)
I have no idea if I can catch up....at this point I am thinking I will mix months and/or weeks together.
It's ok though.
What ever!

One thing I have decided though, is to make my PL a little simpler.  SIMPLIFY.
I am addicted to embellishing.  But I just cant keep it up with other deadlines.  So here's one which is a little simpler than my usual.  Its not a showy one.  Its just a spread.  It still tells our story.

I used the November Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.  As you can see this kit goes a long way.  This is project #6!  I still have kit left, and could make another project life spread out of it, and probably another couple of pages.

Project Life  Week 44

More black, grey and teal.....Mmm  mmmm!

And side B

See Simple!  It still has the words, It still has the story, I still has the pictures.....It has all it needs.  And it only took me an hour or so to put together, after I cut up the papers.

Now that's cool.

Maybe I can catch up. ;-)

See you again soon!

A touch of Teal?

Hello!

Another quick share today....my next project using the November MCS Creative Kit

My little girl recently broke her arm at school.  It was a really nasty 24 hours, we had an overnight hospital stay and she had to go to theatre for surgery after 11 or so hours of waiting.   

It was hard waiting that long with a little one in agony.  

This photo was taken the morning after the surgery....She was exhausted

"Thinking of you"

I pulled out all the similar teal colours in the kit for this page, to give it a monochromatic feel.

I did some fussy cutting from a floral sheet in the kit and used the template to cut the ampersand out of the coordinating patterned paper.  I pulled apart the flowers and made them less dimensional, placing a string tied button in the centre of each.

Some doilies peeking out from behind, some punched stars, a splattering of Shimmerz Coloringz, 

a few stickers.....and a little layering!

My journaling was written on strips of cardstock and then cut apart and stacked on top of each other.

You know sometimes a page just feels good from start to finish...

the colours work, the embellishments work, and it just comes together?  

This was one of those.  

I loved working on this one. 

 I just wish they happened more often!  

I hope you will check back soon, for more fun projects using the MCS kit.  :-)

Have a good day!

Black, White and Grey with a touch of Teal.....

Hello today!

It is a good day to create.  I am sharing another project from the MCS Kit for November

I used the Creative Kit this month.

"Hello Everyday Life"

These gorgeous papers layered together make a Layout easy!

The drips on this page are a brand new Shimmerz Coloringz colour, which is one of my new favourites!  Love "A shade of grey"  such a great dark grey.

(If you head to the Shimmerz Store to get your own...Mention my name in the NOTES TO MERCHANT, and you can choose a FREE paint)

I loved these sticker words in the kit.  I adhered them dimensionally with liquid Scrap dots from Helmar.

The black, white and grey with the pop of teal works well together.  So pretty!

So it was a super quick share today!

I will be back again soon :-)  

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a good one.

My Creative Scrapbook November Creative Kit.

A new month Means Lots of new Projects with the My Creative Scrapbook Kits.....
I got The Creative Kit.  Its a different kit than the one I usually work with BUT I Loved it!!!!

Here is the Kit....

Here one of the pages I created using this kit!

"Grandpa's Glasses"

Fun with Shimmerz Paints Sprays and an acylic block

Loved the colours here.  Red, black and yellow.

Not a colour scheme that comes to mind when I think of an appealing palette

But it works.

and I like it!  LOL

a few colours of Shimmerz Paint in the background sets the scene nicely and softens the background.

Paint creates depth in that it makes layers on your project without adding bulk....there are 3 layers of colours here before we even start on the paper and other embellishments!

Paint is cool!

Little groupings of embellishments work in negative space, creating a little more balance

and of course a sweet little doily!  Love adding doilies!!!!  Some sticker labels with their corners rounded, makes some cool tabs with with tiny attacher.  Some punched stars and circles and some Grey Shimmerz Coloringz finishes it all off just nicely!
